oh..... just....think about it

personally, i am indifferent to the chatbox coming back, but if it were to come back, i would like to see that it doesn't lag typing on certain devices, such as mobile and tablets, as that was a problem i constantly had back when we had the chatbox
it would also be nice to have stricter rules for the chatbox, so we could avoid the drama that constantly flooded the chatbox, but without severely limiting speech

anyways, that was just my two cents-

Unfortunately there wouldn't be much we could do about the lagging as that is device specific. If Cbox was reused, I could reach out to the company and see if they have any suggestions or fixes for your lag.

As for the stricter rules-- we don't want to be suffocating or overly harsh (we try not to be!), and I thought the rules we had were fine overall (although they likely need a touch up since it's been a year.)

With that said, if you don't mind I'd like to hear your thoughts on what stricter rules you would like to see implemented. (And if you're more comfortable talking in private, we can always move this to PM! Just let me know and I'll turn mine back on.)

that would be greatly appreciated, thank you !

that's understandable, of course, i just felt as though, even with the rules we had, there was still a lot of drama, so there might have been a need to be stricter, and have stricter rules.

and i'm open to doing that c: ( though i would perfer if i pm'ed them to you, if it isn't too much trouble ? )

I wouldn’t mind if you find a chat box provider that allows you do things like

this

As that function keeps it more organized instead of simply copying the link and then someone has to copy it instead of simply selecting it, that was a problem with the old chat box.

Though I do miss some things that only could happen with the chatbox...

1. Me convincing a staff member (don’t remember which one) to change the words ‘chat box’ above the chat to ‘cat box’ for about a week

2. How I kept repeating how much I hated the color pink and doug would edit my profile and turn it all pink (like the color choices) and I’d edit it back, then doug would re-edit it back...that was a fun thing.

3. It did make asking staff questions easier

Cons

1. Drama

2. It makes answering RPs harder because you don’t want to miss anything in the chatbox while you are answering a RP


Here’s my more neutral 2 cents about this.

[fresh]

i think it's definitely worth a shot! no harm can come from trying. while there's obviously been lots of issues in the past, the chat box is a great way for new members to get introduced and welcomed without having to make threads, which some of then don't even know how to do. it's also an extremely easy way to find roleplays with a variety of members instead of just the same few people every time. i'm definitely on board! it'll be a nice christmas present :3

I'd actually be pretty thrilled to see it come back. When it was here, I didn't use it as much as I should have before it was all gone. I did go in there a couple of times, and when I did, I had lots of fun. Though I know the most common complaint is that there was drama, there's also drama everywhere else too, it's just an easier, quicker way to communicate, so obviously there would seem like there's more drama. Of course since drama is part of our everyday life, and always will be, we have to learn to deal with it. There need to be rules, of course, to prohibit it, but that shouldn't stop us from having fun.

I didn't use it very much, but I remember that it was fun to see what everyone was talking about.

Definitely will make finding people to rp with a lot easier too.
